Questions and Answers

What is the result of electron transfer between a metallic atom and a nonmetallic atom during bond formation?

  • The nonmetallic atom gains electrons and becomes an anion
  • The metallic atom gains electrons and becomes a cation
  • The nonmetallic atom loses electrons and becomes a cation
  • The metallic atom loses electrons and becomes an anion (correct)

    • Which atom experiences a change in charge during electron transfer in bond formation?

  • Both the metallic and nonmetallic atoms
  • Only the nonmetallic atom
  • Only the metallic atom (correct)
  • Neither the metallic nor the nonmetallic atom

    • What role does the nonmetallic atom play in electron transfer during bond formation?

  • It doesn't participate in electron transfer
  • It donates electrons to the metallic atom
  • It accepts electrons from the metallic atom (correct)
  • It shares electrons with the metallic atom
